Felon sentenced for illegally returning to the U.S.

A resident of Mexico was sentenced last week in the Southern District of Illinois Court in East St. Louis for illegally returning to the U.S.

Victor Flores-Gonzalez, 31, was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison on a charge of illegal re-entry into the U.S. by an aggravated felon.

Flores-Gonzalez pleaded guilty to the charge in April after Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Garrison presented evidence that Flores-Gonzalez was deported to Mexico after he was released from a Colorado state prison after serving a sentence for a cocaine possession conviction in 2005.


He was arrested in June near Belleville by the Illinois State Police after a traffic stop.
